Uncommon Goods Handbag

If you know me, you know that I have one obsession. I love bags. I love purses, suitcases, brief cases, luggage of all types. I am not a brand slave and know that there are some very cool companies out there making some amazing purses and luggage that would make any bagophile drool. So what did I think when I was sent the Magnolia purse from Alchemy Goods made from recycled bike inner tubes and seat belts? You can find them on the Uncommongoods.com website. Let’s just say, I am in love and I don’t care who knows it.

This purse is unique. The pic shows that the purse is different. You can see how they sewed together the inner tubes and the purse is sturdy yet very flexible and waterproof. The size is perfect to carry your regular purse accouterments (wallet, makeup, phone, crayons, action figures) and it also is large enough to fit a tablet/iPad with no problems. It fits perfectly on my shoulder and, unlike some purses that when they get heavy tend to dig in to your shoulder, the seat belt shoulder strap is wide and very comfortable. The inside has two large pockets one of which is perfect for your phone and a zipper pocket that spans the width of the purse!

The Magnolia is uncommon and a perfect example of the ultra-cool things you will find. The site is filled with handmade unique gifts and designs that are beyond creative. Most of the things you will find on the site are made from reclaimed, recycled and upcycled products. Like my purse, these artists have taken someone’s trash and made a beautiful product that anyone would be proud to own. Check out Uncommon Goods for more unique items.

This site is perfect for shopping for that one person that has everything because trust me, these gifts are as unique as they can be. Plus, you are not only supporting artists but supporting recycling and upcycling!
